Kanban

What are the requirements for implementing an Agile Kanban system?

• An existing process and a desire to improve the workflow through evolutionary change

  
  

• A board and signal cards

  
  

• A project that uses Scrum and new job roles and titles

• A project that uses Scrum only

What happens when the Kanban Work In Progress (WIP) limit is not being honored?

• Team throughput increases

• Processes will suffer from inefficiency

• Concurrent operations will slow down

• Feedback loops will be shorter

What is a benefit of limiting WIP?

• Quality can improve as it gives teams or individuals fewer tasks to focus their effort on.

• Sprint or iteration duration can be decreased because of enhanced visualization tools.

• Decrease in cost to produce each individual product because of less money spent on initial raw resources

• No

• I never knew such a tool existed
